    Rest in peace, Chaim Topol. May his memory be a blessing.

    "You may ask, 'How did this tradition get started?' I'll tell you: ...I don't know." That line always makes me crack up.
  • The John Williams score takes an already excellent musical and makes it even better.

    And now, Ladies and Gentlemen, the Tradition is Over. Because our Beloved Topol just passed away today at the age of 87, after a fight against Alzheimer. Rest In Peace, Reb Tevye. May You Keep the Traditions in Heaven

    This has been my favorite movie since i was 5. I am 37 now. Had the pleasure of seeing Topal in his role at rhe fox theater in st. Louis when i was maybe 8 or 9. I wore the "tevia" hat i got from santa that year and was mesmerized by the fact that i was breathing the same air as him. This movie is my life
  • Has anyone else noticed that when he says "How did this tradition get started? I'll tell you... I don't know", he actually answers this in the last song? "Perhaps that is why we always wear our hats, because we have been kicked out of our home so many times."

    Whenever I practice my violin, I always play that solo part a the very beginning. I hope there is a day when I can get the role of the fiddler :)

    One of best music pieces ever written by one of the best singers. Magnificent!

    My parents took me to see this film when it came out, I was 7yoa. 50 years later, this movie, this song, the great lines therein, are traditions in my household.

    the part where he goes "i don't know" makes me want to laugh!!!

    Such an awesome play. So much wisdom in it. So deeply touching, no matter where you come from or what your history is.
  • I love how many of these songs seem natural for people to break out and sing during the day.
  • I'll never get over how masterful this film is. This song is so well-shot, the timing and score is impecable.

    We are doing Fiddler on the Roof for my school play!!
  • Thank you so much for these bits of the movie. It has been one of my two favorite movies since I was a kid (Sound of Music is the other), and you have made it possible for me to enjoy it whenever I want. Such a blessing!
